Chopin Prelude No. 15
on: April 19, 2007, 01:46:45 AM
Hi, this is me playing Chopin Prelude No. 15 at my house. I started playing about one year ago. The playing isn't perfect, it has mistakes on 00:44, 3:27 and in 4:04 I played the notes too forte instead of piano and crescendo (though I still do the crescendo). Besides those mistakes, this is pretty much how I interpretate it. I don't know, I guess I get nervous about the camera. Please comment what do you think of it. Greetings

you played it well, but it was a pretty boring interpretation. Try adding more dynamics and playing it with more expression. You're left hand was pretty bland as well.

I love this piece!

I'm no expert though so I'll leave the comments to the teachers. I enjoyed your performance however :)

“Piano Dreams” - Exploring the Chinese Piano Explosion

The motivations for learning the piano are diverse, ranging from personal enjoyment to cultural appreciation and professional aspirations.
